Oh man, I remember that one about the booted Audi from a couple years back.

Ho. Lee. Crap. I cannot believe that AskMe thread about the guy trying to find girls, dunkadunc. That is just far and away either one horribly pretentious dude, or someone with a black belt in trolling. The responses had me crying from laughing. Why don't more people post things like this in AskMe?posted by Marisa Stole the Precious Thing at 12:15 PM on April 20, 2009

The very best legendary thread I've ever read was on the TiVo forums about the beeping house. The original link doesn't work anymore, perhaps someone has an update?

Also: Thanks for this. I've been home alone and not working for the past five days and am going out of my mind with boredom. I'm quite glad that I can read about ER patients instead of resorting to do my laundry!posted by grapefruitmoon at 12:15 PM on April 20, 2009

This thread strikes me as having the highest amusement-potential of any on that page, but it is reg-req, so boo.

Also, no updates to the site in nearly a year, and one of the more recent posts is self congratulation about the improved look of the page. Can't imagine how much worse it was before.posted by paisley henosis at 12:44 PM on April 20, 2009

There go the next three days of my life...posted by stargell at 1:13 PM on April 20, 2009

This is one of my favorite metafilter links ever. It links to a legendary thread which "contains heavy amounts of all-caps and awesome." You need to read down some for the awesome.posted by shothotbot at 1:30 PM on April 20, 2009 [1 favorite]

I followed the booted-Audi-APS thread last year. But a gag order was issued during the summer. I never heard what happened after. Google has nothing new. Can anyone tell me how this turned out?posted by CCBC at 4:50 PM on April 20, 2009 [1 favorite]

There's not enough time! ARGH! I HATE YOU MEFI! Every day of my life is spent torn between deciding whether to blog, watch a movie, catch up on a television series I like, read all of these threads (just added to my list), try to find new bands to listen to, or, finally, sit down and actually draw stuff in the hopes of one day not having to work in a cubical anymore. You know what wins out? Me playing video games on one screen while I try to watch a movie on another and 5 hours of sleep a night. I CAN'T KEEP DOING THIS.posted by Bageena at 5:10 PM on April 20, 2009 [7 favorites]

"When your 15yo daughter gives precipitous delivery to a bleating, underweight infant 30 minutes after presenting to triage c "gas pains", you should run around the department loudly yelling, "I don't know what y'all did or who that baby is, but my lil' girl warn't pregnant when she come in here""posted by escabeche at 6:47 PM on April 20, 2009

Well, there goes the rest of my week…

For me the taters incident still takes the cake.
Whoa, I missed the MeTa thread on that one. Seriously, taters?posted by Fin Azvandi at 7:47 PM on April 20, 2009

Wow, the audi booted one really pissed me off. It makes me wonder why people don't just rise up and kick out whatever agency responsible for the parking pass debacle right on their asses.posted by tehloki at 12:05 PM on April 21, 2009
